The Spectacular Bondi To Coogee Beach Coastal Walk, Sydney

Sydney can be a glamorous place, but it’s also beautiful, as you discover on the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk. This easy and family-friendly walk takes you along the stunning coastal headland and past some of the best beaches in the region.

I grew up only about an hour north of Sydney, but it took me 35 years to do The Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach walk, and I am kicking myself for all those years I missed out!

I could have spent many more days swimming in the tropical coloured waters of the rocky headland beaches along this coastal walk.

Absolutely stunning is about all I can say.

But there is no time to dwell, and to make sure you don’t make the same mistake as me and miss out on this incredible short walk, I’ve prepared this guide to help you understand why this walk is so special, and how you can do it for yourself.
